Abstract
A method and apparatus for efficiently viewing selected cells using a database editor tool. By using a cell selection list that identifies a number of selected components, the present invention may allow the user to sequentially view the selected components by using a number of pre-defined “hot-keys”. In addition, the present invention may automatically set the design hierarchy in the database editor tool to an appropriate level so that the component being viewed can be easily manipulated by the circuit designer.
